· 4G LTE Nokia Lumia 920 with Windows Phone 8 was built for amazing clarity, power and speed that lets you capture, share and relive moments as if you were still there. You’ll enjoy a rich user-experience in almost any conditions with the stunning 4.5-inch PureMotion HD and ClearBlack display that blocks incoming light reflections through a polarized layer to improve screen visibility under direct sunlight. The 332 ppi sculpted 2.5 D Corning Gorilla Glass 2.0, with color-boosting technology, Sunlight Readability Enhancement, High Brightness Mode, and a power-efficient LCD paired with 4G/LTE and Internet Explorer 10 make for faster, clearer web browsing. When you discover all that the Nokia Lumia 920 has to offer – including premium design and powerful dual-core 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon Processor- nothing less will do.

· High-Quality Camera

· The advanced, eight-megapixel camera has autofocus, a dual-LED flash and an image processing chip. There is also a front-facing 1.2 megapixel camera with f2.0 aperture and a 26 millimeter lens for easy self-portraits. Video play and capture is available with Carl Zeiss optics and HD 1080p. With up to 32 GB of internal memory and SkyDrive cloud storage available, there’s enough memory to keep all your photos and video.

· The Lumia is equipped with convenient, free apps like Facebook, Twitter and voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation. Even make your phone your own with a variety of personalization options. Other features include NFC technology, integrated wireless charging, optical image stabilization and three microphones.

Disadvantages of Nokia Lumia 920:

The main disadvantage in Nokia Lumia 920 is the windows App Store that which has less Apps when compared to Android and iOS.
There is no microSD card, FM Radio, system-wide file manager, lockscreen shortcuts.
The size and weight of the phone is to be considered before you buy because it is bit uncomfortable to handle the device.
The battery is not disposable, if there is any problem with the battery than it is not so simple to replace it with the new battery.

Iphone 5 Versus Lumia 920

In a new Facebook post, the Finnish phone maker breaks down the key features found in both smartphones, naturally giving the nod to the 920 in each category. And in many areas, the company does manage to make its case.

The Lumia 920's screen is larger and sharper than the one on the new iPhone. The 920's 4.5-inch screen displays 1,280x768 pixels at 332 pixels per inch. The iPhone 5's 4-inch screen offers 1,136x640 pixels at 326 ppi.

The PureView camera on the Lumia 920 offers 8.7-megapixels with a Carl Zeiss lens, while the iPhone 5 uses an 8-megapixel camera. But unmentioned by Nokia are the improvements in noise reduction, low-light performance, and fast photo taking in the new iPhone's camera.
Both cameras offer a Panoramic mode to let you shoot a single photo covering as much as 360 degrees. Nokia gives itself points for image stabilization, but that feature is also on the iPhone 5. The 920's front-facing camera does win the pixel race, offering 1.2 megapixels compared with the iPhone 5's 720 pixels.

The Lumia 920 is also more touch-sensitive. A new touch technology allows people with long fingernails or gloves to manipulate the screen. Nokia's phone comes in a wider range of colors and offers more accessories than does the iPhone 5.

The winner of the maps contest is a no-brainer, especially in light of Apple's Maps snafu.
The City Lens augmented reality feature found on the Lumia Maps app lets you find local businesses simply by pointing your phone in the right direction, a feature not available on the new iPhone. Nokia is also clearly taking advantage of the backlash against Apple for its Maps mistakes.
